Battle of New Suleymaniya

The Battle of New Suleymaniya occurred in 1583 when a force of English musketeers, pikemen, archers, and hussars attacked the Ottoman Empire's colony of New Suleymaniya in South America. The Ottoman explorer Kilic ibn Battuta had been killed while scouting out the English colony of Billingsby, leading to hostilities between the two nations. The English proceeded to march on the Ottoman settlement, burning down the mosque (one of the earliest mosques in the Americas) and several buildings before razing the town center and massacring the settlers. New Suleymaniya's destruction allowed the English to expand their colony, and the Ottomans were driven out of the region.
